    Oh yes, they certainly will. Excellent spot/crevice to capture all kinds of road crap, and where I live in Eastern Canada, they salt the roads in winter....well, right after they salt the roads in winter..lol. Only way to combat that is an annual coat of Rust Check. Most Canadians on here should know that product name, since it was patented by a Canadian up North 30 yrs ago. They spray up and inside the flares so water will not stand as it's absorbed by the product...awesome rust preventative stuff.

    M 09 Taco with 310,000 kms on it was one of the only ones that didn't need a frame replacement around here. Frame and welds were "like knew", my mechanic said. I get them done every fall, and also live and work around the Bay of Fundy where my trucks get hammered all day every day in salt air.

    I do have new satin black alloy wheels en route, better than those ugly, awful grey winter wheels my dealer put on....so will look much cleaner.

    Read your liner thread btw...that's a sweet mod you did!!

    What’s your wheels set up here? Looks pretty flush. Do you have a spacer in your wheels or just bigger tires.

    i went with 30 inch tires one size up and the narrowest Spidertrax spacers to make it flush.

    I’d just stick with mudflaps, I always thought mudflaps looked stupid i was always a Chevy guy and they never came stock on a Chevy, but they keep ALOT of dirt and crap off the side of my truck

    I agree with you. I would add mud flaps if there were a fix or a product. Try as I might, I had to cut too much material off to make them fit right.
